UNIFIL says three of its observer force members in Lebanon were injured in strike on its base
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) says three of its observer force members were injured during a strike at a base in southwestern Lebanon.
The most severely injured soldier has been transferred to hospital in Beirut for treatment while two others are being treated at an internal medical facility, UNIFIL says.
A fire on the base sparked by the strike has been extinguished.
“UNIFIL will investigate the circumstances of this terrible event. It is unacceptable that peacekeepers performing Security Council-mandated tasks are targeted,” it adds, without assigning blame for the strike.
